Use JSHint in Eclipse to check JavaScript

Previously, JSlint was used to verify JavaScript code and found that it was not flexible enough. Therefore, JSHint was used. According to the official statement, JSHint is a community-driven tool used to detect errors and potential problems in JavaScript code, standardize the coding style, and ensure the quality of the Code. JSHint has made many improvements based on JSLint, allowing developers to define verification options themselves.
